LWMB Families - we need your help!
Do you know someone who loves to perform and/or dance? Do you know someone who wants to get involved in high school, but is not sure what to join?
Please share with any 8th graders or current high schoolers that the Lincoln-Way Marching Band is in need of approximately 20 more color guard members for the 2023 season. The color guard is an integral part to the success of our shows! The artistry, color and beautiful work they do is so important to our success!

L-W Medication Authorization Form due.
If your child takes prescription AND/OR over the counter medication (ex. Tylenol, Advil, Zyrtec, etc.), please have the physician complete this form when your child has their physical. This will allow staff and parent chaperones to distribute medications during band camp and trips we take. Listing over the counter medications on this form is very helpful and we won't have to call you if your child needs Tylenol or Advil for a headache when we are on a trip or during the long days of band camp.
